Ranitomeya Imitator
''Ranitomeya'' is a genus of dart poison frogs found in Panama and South America south to Peru and Brazil, possibly into Bolivia. Taxonomy In 2006 Grant ''et al.'' revised the systematics of poison dart frogs and placed many species formerly classified in the genera ''Dendrobates'', '' Minyobates'' and ''Phyllobates'' in ''Ranitomeya''. In 2011 Brown and colleagues, following other scientists who assumed the existence of two distinct clades in ''Ranitomeya'', erected the genus '' Andinobates'' for 12 species of ''Ranitomeya''. ''Ranitomeya'' and ''Andinobates'' frogs can be distinguished from those in genera such as ''Dendrobates'' in that they are generally smaller, have more than two colors, and seem to glitter if viewed from certain angles. ''Ranitomeya'' is widespread in the Amazon basin, whereas ''Andinobates'' species are found only in the northern Andes down to Central America.

Reticulated Poison Frog
The reticulated poison frog (''Ranitomeya ventrimaculata''), known in French language, French as ''dendrobate à ventre tacheté'', is a species of poison dart frog. It is native to South America, where it can be found in Brazil, southeastern Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, and Peru. Toxicity ''R. ventrimaculata'' secretes poison through glands in the skin which protect it from fungus, fungi and bacteria as well as from predators, which are also warned to stay clear by the aposematic coloration. It is therefore often included among the poison dart frogs, although its toxin is comparatively weak. ''R. ventrimaculatus'' produces its poison by ingestion of a species of mite. Description The frog is active during the day. It grows to a size of about , with males smaller than females. Its base color is black, and it has yellow lines or dots on the back, whereas the belly has bluish or grayish color with interspersed black patches (hence the name "ventrimaculatus"); the color of the ...

Ranitomeya Benedicta 2
''Ranitomeya'' is a genus of dart poison frogs found in Panama and South America south to Peru and Brazil, possibly into Bolivia.

Ranitomeya Summersi
''Ranitomeya summersi'', sometimes referred to as Summers' poison frog, is a species of poison dart frogs found in the central Huallaga River drainage and adjacent Cordillera Azul National Park in central Peru. Before 2008, the species was considered a subspecies of ''Ranitomeya fantastica''. The IUCN considers it an endangered species because of limited habitat range, habitat loss, and collection for the pet trade. They lay their eggs primarily in ''Dieffenbachia'' plants and in holes in trees. Morphology ''Ranitomeya summersi'' is one of the larger species of poison dart frogs. It has an orange and black banded pattern and a large snout to vent length. Males and females exhibit no sexual dimorphism in snout to vent length, exhibiting a range from 15.5 mm to 20.4 mm. This species possesses a black marking over the eyes extending past the tympanum giving them the appearance of a mask. The species is a Batesian mimicry of Ranitomeya Variabilis ''Ranitomeya'' is a genus of da ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ranitomeya Sirensis
''Ranitomeya sirensis'' is a species of poison dart frog found in the Amazonian rainforests of northern Bolivia (Pando Department), westernmost Brazil (Acre), and eastern Peru. ''R. sirensis'' is known as the Sira poison frog. ''R. sirensis'' is kept as a pet by herpetoculturists and is considered to be one of the more difficult poison dart frogs to keep due to its relative rarity and the delicate nature of its tadpoles. Poison Like most ''Ranitomeya'' species, ''R. sirensis'' is a mildly toxic poison dart frog. Its skin secretes small amounts of pumiliotoxins which coat the frog and cause pain and mild muscle spasms if the frog is handled carelessly. The symptoms may be more severe if the frog is ingested, but unlike the ''Phyllobates'' and ''Oophaga'' species, ''R. sirensis'' secretes the comparatively mild pumiliotoxin C in very small quantities due to its tiny size. As a result, ''sirensis'' mostly rely on their agility, speed, and ability to take shelter in the leaf litte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
